The show was taped from the ranks off Adam's side of the stage. The camera is located quite close to the stage with only a few heads or arms popping through the picture. The camera is handheld and quite shaky. From time to time, the taper loses his focus eventually resulting in heavy shaking for a few seconds until he finds the stage again. Biggest drawback, though, is the lack of colour crispness and defined shapes. The heads appear most of the time as lightbulbs, making it hard to detect many details. Most liekely, the video tape used for transfer was of a higher generation, resulting in quality losses because of the proceding copying processes.

The DVD is not authored properly, the track divisions are arbitrary. The first two songs of the concert are missing.

Audio quality is ood to very good. "I Still Haven't Found" is marred by a tape damage resulting in a squealing sound. A flaw which appears agin all over the recording.
